GUILTY MN - George Floyd, 46, killed in police custody, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020 #21

[orangesandapples]

It's always a bad idea for a defendant to represent themselves, and IMO it's almost always a decision made by an unstable, incompetent, or (in this case) narcissistic mind. Anyone who believes that they are more qualified to represent themselves than a trained attorney thinks that if only they can get up there and say their piece everyone will finally get it and they will be vindicated. There was no way his lawyers were going to allow him to testify in his own defense if they could prevent it, but it looks like they succeeded in convincing him to shut up only by the skin of their teeth. He wants to ~tell his story~ because he thinks it will help him, but I have my doubts.

And deffo wanna know if in either the US or on a state by state basis, the appellate process can increase the sentence or not??

This is tricky- it's unlikely that he will face a harsher sentence but not impossible is the easiest way to answer the question. A federal appellate judge cannot increase a defendant's sentence, but a federal court theoretically can. Since he is appealing a state ruling this does not apply, and since he did not receive the maximum allowable sentence it's possible but very unlikely that he could receive a harsher sentence. Of course, he could appeal that since this is far from his last available avenue.

I think publicity will be the fee.

Believe it or not, Chauvin has become a very popular figure among some groups, who view his conviction as a "token", that was done to appease the masses.

There is probably already quite a bit of money that has been raised by many groups, available for his defense.

Do they have to speak publicly?
It sounds as if they are defending themselves.

How can he repay these taxes if he is broke (as he claims)?

Both of the houses they had are now in ex wife possession?

Civil trial in Floyd case on pace for January jury selection | AP News

Nov. 30, 2021
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The federal civil rights trial of the four former Minneapolis police officers indicted in the killing of George Floyd is on track to begin in January, according to a judge’s letter.

U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson earlier this month mailed out jury questionnaires ordering prospective jurors in the case to report to the courthouse on Jan. 20. The trial of Derek Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Tou Thao and Thomas Lane will run through mid-February, according to a copy of the summons packet obtained by the Star Tribune.
[.....]
Some issues are still lingering ahead of the trial, including a magistrate judge’s ruling that the four officers should be tried together. Attorneys for Kueng, Thao and Lane have argued that Chauvin, already found guilty, should be tried separately in order to ensure a fair trial for the other three former officers. The trio could still ask Magnuson for an independent ruling.
[.....]
Kueng, Thao and Lane face state trial next March on aiding and abetting counts. Chauvin is also charged in a separate federal indictment alleging he violated the civil rights of a 14-year-old boy in 2017.
